Argentine Judge Sacked Over Maradona Death Trial Mistrial

An Argentine judge, Julieta Makintach, has been dismissed and barred from holding future judicial positions after her involvement in a documentary caused a mistrial in the negligence case involving Diego Maradona’s medical team.

Makintach had denied participating in the filming, but video footage showed her being interviewed shortly before the trial, a breach of judicial ethics that led to her recusal and annulment of the proceedings.

A special panel found her guilty of serious misconduct.
